TUEL is the national consolidated framework for Italian local authorities (comuni, province, città metropolitane). Art. 38 c. 7 requires council sessions to be public except in cases prescribed by the council's regolamento interno. Art. 43 establishes access rights to documents and meeting records. Specific notice periods, public-comment rules, and remote-participation provisions are set by each comune's statuto and regolamento consiliare. Regions with special statutes (Sicily, Sardinia, Trentino-Alto Adige, Valle d'Aosta, Friuli-Venezia Giulia) have parallel regional frameworks.
